The Duke and the Police The Upshot of the long
statements made by the Duke of Atha in the House of -Lords, and the questions to which the Attorney-General was subjected in the Corn- nions;iS that there is some difference of opinion about the terms of a conversation between the Duke and two police Officers Who Visited him at Blair Atholl. The Duke says that they asked him to be a party to a technical charge that was to be " trained " against him for infringement of the Lottery Act. The police officers agree that they told the' Mike where the Charge, if brought, would probably be heard, and what the'maximum penalty was. Out of that a misunderstanding Could easily have arisen. Nothing would ever have been heard of it if the conversation had been with a Mr. Atholl of Tooting,-and there is no reason why any more should be now.
